Subject: [Hipsec] HIP WG slot request: resynch and birthday

Gonzalo and Dave,

One of the remaining tough issues in the base
protocol draft is resynching in the case of
one end-point loosing state.  This is also
related to the birthday value, which is used
to protect the resynch process from replay
attacks.

I think that we should use some face time to
discuss this issue at the meeting, and perhaps
create a design team to produce a decent
resynch/birthday mechanism.  In the good case,
the design team might be able to resolve the
problem even while at Seoul :-)  (Such things have
happened before with HIP.)

Anyway, a 10 minute slot for either presenting
the problem and forming design team, or presenting
a solution if one magically emerges before the
meeting.
